First published in 1972, The Foxfire Book was a surprise bestseller that brought Appalachia’s philosophy of simple living to hundreds of thousands of readers. Whether you wanted to hunt game, bake the old-fashioned way, or learn the art of successful moonshining, The Foxfire Museum and Heritage Center had a contact who could teach you how with clear, step-by-step instructions.

This fourth volume celebrates the home life and creative heritage of Appalachia, including sections on knife making, wood carving, logging, and cheese making, as well as a variety of the kind of spirited firsthand narrative accounts from the Appalachian community members that exemplify the Foxfire lifestyle.
